Usually you can't beat good old hard work, but every once and a while I come across a product that really works the way the packaging promises. Windex's Outdoor All-In-One Glass Cleaning Tool (non-affiliate, for information only, link) is one of those products. I've tried a number of window cleaning hacks and shortcuts, both homemade and professionally manufactured, but this is the first one I've really been pleased with.

I cleaned the outsides of all, 20 or so, of my windows (including having time to rinse off the screens) in less than a half an hour, the other day. It was just a matter of spraying the window with the hose, wiping it down with the soapy, Swifter-like pad, and then rinsing the window back off (we are in a single story house over a basement, so no ladders).

The job wasn't completely perfect (there were little streaks here and there if I looked close), but considering the time it took - it was amazingly good, and sparkling clean. The starter pack comes with one cleaning pad, so refills have to be purchased for each cleaning. So far, I haven't found them in our local stores, but Amazon carries them.

I wasn't paid for this opinion. I'm happy to share what time savers I find. How about you? Any go to household products you like to recommend to all your friends? Believe me, I'd love to hear about them.

Hmm I have some filthy windows, but several of them are on the second story where I still don't have a good way to reach them. Maybe it's still worth trying this on the ground floor?

I am obsessed with this ice shaver - it was $25 prime when I bought it this summer, and worth every penny. It is still pretty hot here, and with no AC this is a great after-school snack for the kids. We just pour juice over it.
